University of Washington. Museum

Members of the Young Naturalists Society founded the Museum in order to house their growing collection of natural history artifacts. In 1899 the Washington State Legislature designated it the Washington State Museum, and it became a museum of natural history and culture. In 1962, it was renamed the Burke Museum in honor of Judge Thomas Burke.
